Selling Pills

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Song Wen arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion as promised and met Wei Zhengzhi Tian Zhou.

"Greetings, Senior Wei; greetings, Fellow Daoist Tian."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, please have a seat." Tian Zhou greeted Song Wen warmly and led him to a seat.

"Young friend Wu, the Law Treasure has been successfully crafted," Wei Zhengzhi said.

Without him making any move, a foot-long, handleless curved blade appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The curved blade slowly flew towards Song Wen.

Song Wen raised his hand and took the curved blade.

As the curved blade came into his hand, Song Wen felt only a chilling sensation.

Even though it hadn't been activated yet, Song Wen could still clearly sense the sharpness emanating from the curved blade, so fierce it seemed capable of cutting through any obstacle.

Song Wen pinched the curved blade between two fingers and gently slashed it into the air.

A dazzling, cold light pierced the air.

Wherever the sharp blade passed, the air seemed to be split in two, emitting a hissing wail.

"A fine knife!"

Song Wen's eyes gleamed with admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Seeing that his crafted Law Treasure had been affirmed, Wei Zhengzhi smiled broadly.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, young friend."

Wei Zhengzhi's face revealed undisguised pride as he continued his introduction.

"When forging this blade, I deliberately incorporated a small amount of Heavenly Fire Stone. This makes the treasure not only incomparably sharp but also capable of containing Spirit Flame. Simply refine this blade, store it in your Dantian, and nurture it with Spirit Flame day and night. In time, this blade will naturally be imbued with a trace of Spirit Flame."

Song Wen sheathed the broken blade, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Thank you, Senior Wei."

Then, he took out a Storage Bag and handed it over.

Storage Bag were a Fire Astral Wood, fifty Superior Spirit Stones, and a golden token used as proof of the transaction.

Wei Zhengzhi inspected the Storage Bag and smiled with satisfaction.

"Young friend, if you ever need to refine Law Treasure again, remember to come to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to find me. I guarantee I'll give you a preferential price."

After exchanging a few brief words, Song Wen got up to say goodbye and left.

After Song Wen's figure disappeared, the smile on Tian Zhou's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and ruthless expression.

"Master Wei, should we send someone to follow this kid and retrieve the Law Treasure?"

Wei Zhengzhi said, "Dealing with this kid is easy, but his Golden Core stage master is quite mysterious. We've already got the Fire Astral Wood, so let's not cause any unnecessary trouble and lest we provoke unnecessary enemies."

After leaving Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Song Wen pretended to be nonchalant and strolled around the black market.

He kept a careful eye on what was happening behind him.

To his surprise, he didn't realize anyone was following him.

Still not entirely at ease, Song Wen, after leaving the black market, traveled over a thousand miles through the dense forest, making sure no one was following him before returning to his cave abode outside Fangzhu City.

After returning to his cave abode, Song Wen took out a short blade.

He studied it for a moment, then muttered to himself.

From now on, I'll call you 'Void-Breaking Blade'.

He sat down cross-legged, channeling his inner magical Law Power to refine the short blade.

As a mid-grade Law Treasure, the Void-Breaking Blade took an extremely long time to refine, more than two months in total, before Song Wen finally completed the refinement.

Late at night.

Star-Point Lake.

Song Wen's lonely figure appeared by the lake.

He traveled a long way to test the power of the Void-Breaking Blade.

This place is devoid of Spiritual Qi, and few people venture here. Activating the Void-Breaking Blade here will not attract attention.

Song Wen opened his mouth and spat out the Void-Breaking Blade.

With a thought, the Void-Breaking Blade unleashed a burst of cold light.

The sharp blade energy condensed into a beam, seemingly capable of slicing through everything in the world with each breath.

The Void-Breaking Blade flew out, its cold light slicing through the water's surface.

The calm lake surface was like a piece of cloth, torn open to reveal the deep lakebed.

The water churned and splashed.

The entire lake shook from the impact.

Song Wen summoned the Void-Breaking Blade embedded in the lakebed and turned to leave.

That attack just now consumed nearly 70% of his Law Power.

With his cultivation at the Golden Core Early Stage realm, activating a mid-grade magic Law Treasure was still too much of a stretch; it could only be used as a last resort.

Moreover, the Void-Breaking Blade has not yet been fused with the Spirit Flame. If the divided flame of the Silver Firebird were incorporated into it, the Void-Breaking Blade would simultaneously possess the supreme yang power of the Jade Radiance Flame and the yin and icy energy of the Nether Corpse Cold Flame, and its power and lethality would definitely be greatly enhanced.

For the next period of time, Song Wen devoted all his energy to refining the Golden Jade Pill Qi Spirit Pill.

All he had were the Pill Formula, but with no one to teach him or to exchange ideas with like-minded individuals, he could only slowly explore them on his own.

After numerous attempts, Song Wen finally succeeded in refining two kinds of pills.

The Golden Jade Pill is a pill used by Golden Core cultivators to improve their cultivation level. After it was refined, Song Wen took one.

However, the result did not satisfy Song Wen.

The cost and time required to refine the Golden Jade Pill are far greater than those required to refine the Blood Spirit Pill, but the Golden Jade Pill is not as effective as the Blood Spirit Pill in improving cultivation.

Taking the Blood Spirit Pill will consume your Essence Blood, but the Essence Blood of Demon Beast in the Sea of Disorder is extremely cheap. Song Wen only needs to spend a few hundred Spirit Stone to buy the entire Essence Blood and soul of a second-tier Demon Beast.

Therefore, Song Wen decided to sell the Golden Jade Pill in exchange for Spirit Stone.

As for the Qi Spirit Pill, it is used to restore a cultivator's Divine Sense. Song Wen kept a few as spares, and the rest could only be sold.

The night of the tenth of this month.

Song Wen arrived at the Treasure Gathering.

After failing to find what he wanted at the auction and the stalls, Song Wen went directly to Gan Hong.

"Senior Gan, I have a small matter to attend to, and I would like to trouble you for a moment."

"Young friend Wu, it has been several months since we last met, and you have not appeared at the Treasure Gathering again."

Seeing the enthusiastic smile on Gan Hong's face, Song Wen's heart suddenly tightened.

Gan Hong was surprised to learn that he hadn't visited the Treasure Gathering in the past few months.

This undoubtedly shows that Gan Hong was deliberately looking for him at every Treasure Gathering.

Being targeted by a Late Golden Core Stage cultivator, for whatever reason, is never a good thing.

Song Wen smiled and said, "I have been busy with cultivation lately and have not had the opportunity to attend the Treasure Gathering."

Gan Hong said, "I see. We cultivators should indeed be diligent in our cultivation, for cultivation is the foundation."

He then changed the subject and continued.

"Young friend Wu, what brings you here?"

Song Wen flipped his hand and took out two jade bottles.

"I've come on my master's orders to sell some pills and also to purchase some spirit medicine."

Gan Hong immediately became interested.

"I wonder what kind of pill it is? If it's a second or third-tier pill, the price I offer here is slightly higher than in Fangzhu City and the black market."

"Golden Jade Pill Qi Spirit Pill. Fifty Golden Jade Pill and ten Qi Spirit Pills."

As they spoke, Song Wen handed the two jade bottles directly to Gan Hong.

After examining the pills, Gan Hong said...

"The quality of the pills is quite good. One Golden Jade Pill costs four hundred Spirit Stone, and one Qi Spirit Pill costs eight hundred Spirit Stone. What do you think of this price, young friend?"
